Kevin Jon Bidwell is married to his Dutch wife and they have been blessed with children. Dr. Kevin Bidwell was baptised as an infant in the Church of England in 1965 and “little by little” the gospel penetrated his soul. In 1986, just after his 21st birthday, he came to believe in Jesus Christ in a personal way. In 1990, he was soundly converted and sensed a call and desire to preach Christ from the beginning of his conversion. As his spiritual understanding which led to repentance and faith in Christ took place over many years through the grace of Christ, his doctrinal understanding developed slowly and steadily, primarily through the Holy Spirit granting him an unquenchable love for the written Scriptures.

‘This is an important and timely book. There is no subject of greater importance than the worship of Almighty God. In our time large parts of the Church has been led astray by subjective and man-centred methods of worship. This helpful reprinting of the Directory of Worship offers us an alternative approach, gleaned from the wisdom of the saints who came before us. It guides us towards a better and more Biblical way to worship our glorious Triune God. The essays included with the directory are all helpful in explaining and applying the teaching of the Directory to today. May the Lord use it to continue the reformation of His Church and for His glory.’ Matthew Jolley
